Seahawks take offensive tackle Jamarco Jones in fifth round

With their seventh pick of the 2018 NFL Draft, the Seahawks on Saturday selected offensive tackle Jamarco Jones of Ohio State.

Seattle listed Jones at just over 6-foot-4 and 300 pounds.

Jones started his final 27 games at Ohio State at left tackle but the Seahawks may view him as potentially able to play on either side.

Jones is the first offensive lineman taken by the Seahawks and it’s the latest in the draft Seattle has taken an offensive lineman since 2013 — Jones was selected with the 168th pick overall.

But the Seahawks have professed to have confidence in many of the holdovers and a hope that a change in offensive line coaches from Tom Cable to Mike Solari will make a difference.
